You are right, there are Christians here though, they just want to take it away because they are angry Jesus Christ is really coming back on the last day. The devil is running out of time, and Jesus must be doing something.
@AnonymousElektron - I will finish by saying that, having spent many years visiting Equatorial Africa, the Congo River alone has the potential to light up half the continent. There is huge potential in Africa, but until they can get rid of the despots and dictators, thing will stay the same. I see that many people in RSA are becoming fed up with the ANC and their corruption. It will be interesting to see what the DA will do in the next election?
@AnonymousElektron - Believe it or not - I agree with Obama. the USA of all countries should have a good high speed rail nertwork.It works elsewhere and is proven technology. I also believe that its just crazy the way everything runs of fossil fuels. We are oil addicts, no question. There should be more investment in alternative power sources. Two years ago I went on a tour of the Hoover Dam outstanding! Hydro power is safe, clean and much underrated.
@AnonymousElektron - But, back to healthcare.We should not be afraid to learn from other nations when it comes to healthcare. As i stated earlier, I was in Switzerland last year and was impressed by the whole country - how clean, efficient and well-run everything was. Everyone in Switzerland has health coverage (it's required by law), with the government providing generous subsidies for those who couldn't otherwise afford it. But then again, they only have 7.5 million people!
@AnonymousElektron - I'm gfuessing that the EU has a lot to do about making sire that the road systems are as seamless as possible in all member states, with the exception of the UK which ias, of course, an island. A good public transportation system is the life blood of any country, and I agree with you that the US should be looking much closer at this ion order to reduce the number of individual cars and trucks in everyday use.
@AnonymousElektron - OK, I take your point. Even here in Canada you have to pay for your ambulance ride, which is up to $400.00 in some provinces. As far as the standard of care is concerned, France is # 1 with Italy # 2. Britain is 11th and Canada is at # 30. The United States spends a stunning $3,724 per person on health each year, over $1,000 more per person than France. But is not just the amount we spend, its how these health care systems are actually managed.As it happens.....
How can we be angry about something that we don't even believe in? You should probably think about what you're saying before it just comes out.

@bgibb101 and I don't really have an answer about Obama, I don't know enough of the details.
The reason it doesn't bother me, is, most people have sordid pasts if you dig deep enough.
I don't think he's done anything particularly radical since he's been in power, do you?
